  I love my Montana! - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By shellybtraveling - February 27 - 2:53 pm

  With two small children, we needed a reliable mode of transportation. Our Montana has certainly proved to be just that vehicle. Weve owned our van for over two years now and other than having the oil changed, weve only had to buy new tires and a battery. Id call that reliable!

  My Great Van - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By pugowner19 - February 9 - 9:10 am

  I bought this about 2 years ago. I love the way it look. We have had very little trouble with it. It has all the bells and whistles you could ask for. The body style is still in style after all this time. I think that if the transmission or engine went out I would just have them replaced and keep the van.

  Its a shame - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By mike - February 6 - 5:16 am

  My wife and I bought this vehicle used, 3y rs old, 34,000 miles. We LOVED the bells and whistles that the vehicle is equipped with. It drives, rides and handles like a dream. Unfortunately, thats where the love affair ends. The design and build quality of this van is simply appalling. This vehicle should have been recalled early on. The fact that it hasnt, speaks VOLUMES about GMs attitude toward customer satisfaction. If you ever wondered why the Japanese car companies are killing American auto makers, you need look no further than this vehicle. The cheap quality of interior parts is only surpassed by the $1500 repair bill every 2-6 months when yet another sys/component fails.

  This vehicle has exceeded my expectations. Great on trips, comfortable, great handling, versatile and dependable. Everything on it works well and have had no repair needs.

  Great Family Vehicle - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By redhorse - January 18 - 2:00 am

  A great family vehicle. I am average height but wife is tall and we both can get in and out of this vehicle with ease and no problems. This was the most comfortable vehicle to use with an infant seat! Kids love the DVD system and the sport suspension makes the car feel like a nice sedan and fun to drive - you dont get the feel that you are actually driving a van. I have owned too many cars in my life and this is the first one I have enjoyed without compromises - by anyone. This is also the first new automobile (including some high rated ones) I have ever owned that has NOT had to have anything fixed on it - after 13 months (its a 2003)

  Wouldnt Do It Again - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Father of 5 - January 11 - 4:20 am

  I had expected better from a 2000 model GM vehicle. I began having electrical problems right after the warranty ran out, smelling smoke while I was driving and tracing the problem to a 24 V DC short in a connector in the interior driver side rear panel. The wiring bundle was so hot that it melted the insulation on the wires. This resulted in damage to the tail/brake light, automatic leveling and interior air compressor circuits. Now, after roughly 65K miles, the transmission has started to go out. This is a family vehicle that I needed to last for many years. As it is, I will likely get it paid off in time to junk it. Next time, Ill buy Japanese.

  Will never buy it again - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Yuan Li - January 8 - 10:00 am

  We drive a lot and buy a new vehicle every three years. Own this van for more than two years. Went through three major repairs: engine head gasket, cooliing system(Condensor) and now ABS module. Each repair costs more than thousand dollar. So what ever GM rebate is, dont be lured to think to buy it, because eventually you will use the saving from rebate to pay for the repair.

  Forced me into the arms of Toyota - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By chuckb - January 1 - 3:50 pm

  This was our second Montana. Had a 1999 that my wife totaled. The reliability on the 99 was spotty,but this one has been terrible. A/C condenser replaced twice, automatic headlights that wont go off, problems with traction control, leaking intake manifold gaskets. Finally at 58,000 miles the transmission went. Repair costs of $1800. Long letter and phone calls to GM result in sympathetic phone calls back, but no real response or reimbursement. Finally replaced this van after only 3 yrs and 60000 miles. My predicition? GM will be out of business within 20 yrs.

  I would buy it again - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Trisa - December 25 - 11:53 pm

  I use it like a work horse and it performs amicably. I works well for the family and all the stress children can place on a vehicle. The Montana Vision has made long trips tolerable with the kids.

  Pontiac Mini/van (Canada) - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By modencan - December 19 - 10:00 am

  This is my second pontiac Montana. The last one I had was a 2000. This doesnt seem to get the mileage of the 2000. The 2003, also seem to have been shorted on storage space in the vehicle. The 2000 had cargo nets, pockets in back of the front seats as well as bigger slots in the dash to put items and paper.
